15,000 sqft lot… That’s just not acceptable. Too damn close to the next door neighbors. What’s up with all these tract homes?

I’d be happy to have that home (with an allowance for all the maintenance)

How so?May 4, 2015 at 6:03 PM #785811bearishgurlParticipantWhy don’t any of these listings discuss the time, expense and great effort these beleaguered sellers took to install super-deluxe slither-proof snake fences around these properties? I don’t see this amenity mentioned at all!
And I want to know exactly WHICH carriers (if any) will still write homeowner policies around there, especially for the listings in links 2 and 3. (The OP’s listing is one street, or the 3rd roof in but that doesn’t mean much when an 50′ high inferno is raging 100 yards or so behind it.) And how much do those policies cost nowadays (any insurance-professionals out there)?
Also, I could really use some help with this map:
A whitish-colored straight line running diagonally down the hill behind the Cobble Creek listing terminates just behind the (next-door) lot directly to the east and starts back up the hill 4 houses down to the east.
I can’t tell but it looks as if it could be a a single or double high-power line …. or a concrete trench of some sort. (It doesn’t appear to have any support behind those 3 homes.)
Does any Pigg with better eyesight than me or personal knowledge know what this is and why it is there?
I note the OP’s listing features some carpeting here and there and 2 pre-formed plastic-type bath/shower enclosures … while sporting the highest asking price of the 3 at $1.8M.
Were you considering defecting from CV and moving out to lizardland, flu?
May 4, 2015 at 7:33 PM #785814SK in CVParticipantI would totally tear out those ugly fireplaces and put in a river rock fireplace.
May 4, 2015 at 7:44 PM #785816bearishgurlParticipantIn looking at the photos of the Bacara Ct listing (facing the opposite direction of the other two listings), it shows a dirt road on the hill behind the dirt backyard (poss easement for utility vehicles?)

Behind that dirt road about 150 to 200 yards are multiple high-powered lines.
I wonder if the image on the google satellite map behind the Cobble Creek listing is also a utility easement. I can’t see any lines on that side from the image but it is possible that they are there.
May 4, 2015 at 7:50 PM #785817flyerParticipantNice homes, but everyone I know who’s looking at around $2M+ wants to stay west of I-15. I feel the same, but those are just personal preferences, nothing more.

You mean like one of these?
So overrated. The smart money is buy east of the 15 along the 8 freeway.

I’d sooner move to San Quentin. At least room and board are free and it has great views of San Francisco Bay.

May be this is more like it for you. Mid-century charm with a much lower price tag

LOL … Alcatraz has an even better view. You could get a job there as a museum docent and hob-nob with tourists from all over the world five days per week, spdrun! Job includes unlimited free ferry rides to/from SF!

We all have different preferences. We bought/built in RSF 20+ years ago, and some friends in our area who are downsizing (kids are gone) are pocketing a bundle and moving to smaller homes in locations (some multiple–San Diego and elsewhere) they prefer. To each his/her own.
